Lazy Sunday alright, I slept nearly all day. I guess I needed to catch up after my busy week. I so love lazing around on Sundays.For those of you who couldn't make it to the Stamp A Stack on Saturday, this is what you missed out on. We had a really fun afternoon with plenty of Tim Tams. OK, I'll put the recipe below for you.

I was so excited when this stamp arrived , I love it so much. We just had to used it at the Stamp a stack. It can be used for so many occasions. We clear embossed on Basic Grey card and it hardly needed anything else. We also used the So Many Sayings Set (level 1 hostess) for our sentiment. Doesn't it look great.

Wow, this week is just flying by. It's Friday already. I went on a huge shopping spree earlier in the week and used all the gift cards I received for my birthday. So much fun. Two of my children had interviews for their new school for next year and baby Zach played up something shocking. He tried to destroy the principles office. As bored 13month old's do. And I made sure I fitted in lunch with the girls yesterday. My friend Sonya was able to come this week, it was so good to catch up with her. We just laughed & laughed. It's so exciting Sonya now has a blog for her Giggle Buttons business. So if you love using buttons on your scrap pages and cards or just want to have a giggle, just check out her site here.

Now the card I have to show you today was very quick and easy. I've inked the So Swirly wheel with VersaMark and heat embossed with white embossing powder. Very striking on the Blue Bayou card stock. I didn't think it needed much else so I just embossed a flower and layered it on the scallop circle punch. And added a bit of ribbon and a brad. All done, easy.

I really like this little gift bag, so easy to make. I cased it from Angie Kennedy-Chic n' Scratch . I've given this one to my niece, for her 13th birthday, and I popped a gift card in the envelope. It's hard to see but the envelope is stamped with the Paisley background stamp in Blush Blossom ink. And I coloured the white ribbon Groovy Guava.

Here is another card using the layering ink technique. I had a lot of fun making these. I used the Priceless stamp set and the In Colour blues. I'm going to give this one to my Mum for her birthday, today. I hope you have a great day Mum.

I had lots of fun playing on the weekend. I'd seen this technique before and had wanted to try it for a while. I don't know what it is called, but it's stamping in versamark then inking over the whole card (white gloss card) in a light colour then stamp again in versamark and ink in another colour and just keep going until your happy with the result. I did three layers. Each layer is a different colour. It works really well with a brayer. I haven't got a brayer yet (on my wish list) so I just wiped the ink pad across the card. In between each layer polish with a tissue. I was so happy with how this turned out I did a couple more with different stamp sets and colours. Which I will show you soon.

Hi all, hope you had a great weekend. It was a lovely weekend here in Brissy. The wind stopped and the sun was out, not like today it's overcast and cold again. My feet are freezing.

This is a quick card I made for Christmas. I'll probably send it to a relie. It has a photo of my gorgeous 7 year old, Jamie on it. Incorporating photo's onto your Christmas cards are great to send to people you don't see often. The children grow and change so fast. I've used a red flower from the Die-Cuts Blooms (Spring Mini Cat) the star punch would work well too. I must makesome.

Mel's colour challenge this week was inspired by these beautiful flowers. The colours are Choc Chip, Garden Green, Pretty in Pink and Apricot Appeal. If you haven't seen Mel's blog yet, you can check it out here.

Here's my entry, I've used the Time Well Spent stamp set and the aqua pen to water colour the flowers. And popped one flower up with dimensionals. What do your think? Good colours for spring, which is almost here.

These photo's were taken at the park on the school holidays. One of kids took the photos, I don't know which one, they were all playing with the camera and most of the photos turned out great. Rebecca was trying to hide from the camera behind some poles. I think they found her.

I've used the Designer Series Paper - Dashing, not just a Christmas paper. And the Die Cuts Blooms from the Spring Mini, layered with flowers punched out with the 5 petal flower punch. I ink around all the edgers with a dauber. And to finish off I added a bit of Hodge Podge Hardware.

I hope you all had a great weekend. Wasn't the weather beautiful. Did you watch the Olympic games opening ceremony? It was so amazing. I did have a little nap half way through, as it was on so late, but woke up in time to see the end. My hubby took the kids to the EKKA on Friday after school, they had so much fun. I had to stay home, Zach is too little to go yet. (what a shame)

Now for todays card. I really enjoyed making this card, I think it's so pretty.On this card I have clear embossed with the So Swirly wheel and white embossed the butterflies from the Priceless set.

I'm so excited! I won Mel's Thumping Dad Challenge. (jumping up and down) I've never won a challenge before. (jumping up and down) Check out Mel's blog here to see all the entries. Thanks for a great challenge Mel and for picking my card. (jumping, jumping and more jumping)

This is a cute little baby card using the Fun & Fast notes stamp set. I stamped straight onto the DSP and cut out then adhered it on top of another stamped image. Added a couple of buttons and a bit more DSP and it's done. Quick & Easy.

I've made this card by punching out the star's from the soft sky card and layering onto Kraft Card. Then I attached another stamped star to a tag threaded with ribbon and hemp twine. I really love these colours together.Recipe

Here is another card using the Bugs & Kisses Stamp Set. This dragonfly is so cute. I've used the Stampin Write Markers to colour different parts of him and then cut out his wings and popped them up with dimensionals. The colours are Taken with Teal, Rose Red and Regal Rose.

Mel's technique challenge this time is "Thumping Fathers Day". What! I have to admit I didn't know what in the world this meant. So I to jump onto Sptiltcoast Stampers to find out. I discovered that it is a technique where you "thump" two or more markers onto the stamp to achieve a very interesting look. I also discovered I did know of this technique, I just didn't know that it was called Thumping. I really love thumping because you get a different look every time. I thumped this poor bird six times and got six different looks.

I have thumped the poor bird with four colours, the background leaves with two colours and I even thumped the words. I have inked around all the edgers with a dauber for a soft old world look, then added a bit of paper piercing and a jumbo brad with ribbon. Gotta have ribbon.
